321: Children make choices, adults must choose

“My parents have both broken through to the Venerable Realm, and my younger brother is also very promising, steadily breaking through to the Saint Realm…”

Su Qingyue, with a smile in her eyes, sat in Gu Qing’s arms, talking about mundane family matters.

Gu Qing was very patient, occasionally asking a question or two, which gave Su Qingyue a great desire to confide.

“Senior Brother is truly amazing.”

After finishing her family matters, Su Qingyue hugged Gu Qing’s neck, her clear, cold beautiful eyes full of admiration and adoration.

A faint blush appeared on her exquisite face, and her red lips parted slightly: “Senior Brother was unparalleled in the lower realm, and after ascending to the Immortal Realm, he is still unparalleled, astonishing through the ages. Who in the Immortal Realm doesn’t know you?”

As soon as she arrived at the Star Dao Sect, she inquired about Gu Qing’s news. When she learned that Gu Qing had killed enemies beyond his level and ascended to the top of Starlight Avenue in one go, she was incredibly shocked.

One must know, that was a treasure left by the ancient great god Starry Sacred Mother during the Era of Creation. Reaching the top signified the potential of an Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Realm is vast, with endless years passing by, and countless heavenly talents emerging, yet only two have ever reached the top.

She was fortunate enough to become a Dao companion with a future Immortal Emperor; Su Qingyue felt immense pride and honor.

“I have even more amazing things.”

Gu Qing pinched her small nose.

Seeing the usually cold and ethereal Su Qingyue show such a delicate, girlish demeanor, the contrast was too beautiful, and Gu Qing found it a bit hard to control himself.

“More amazing?”

Su Qingyue’s beautiful eyes lit up. After thinking for a moment, she exclaimed in surprise: “Could it be that Senior Brother is about to break through to Profound God?”

Gu Qing: “...”

Chu Yao: “...”

Oh, you silly girl, your wicked Senior Brother clearly wants to devour you whole.

Gu Qing stroked her hair, then pinched her fair cheek, a gentle, lingering smile appearing on his face.

Su Qingyue blinked, her beautiful eyes hazy, lost in Gu Qing’s gentle smile.

“I’ve already broken through to Profound God, and I’m even at Profound God Second Layer.”

“What?!”

Hearing this, both of them snapped out of their daze from Gu Qing’s magnificent appearance, their minds reeling.

Profound God, that is someone who has comprehended the true essence of laws, profound and mysterious, an existence like an Old Ancestor even in the Immortal Realm.

Gu Qing was actually an Old Ancestor-level powerhouse?

Sensing the Profound God aura Gu Qing revealed, both of them were ecstatic.

“Senior Brother is too amazing!” Su Qingyue excitedly pressed herself against Gu Qing’s chest.

Chu Yao didn’t know what to say, her foxy eyes gleaming with admiration.

Gu Qing smiled proudly: “This is just my small goal, it’s nothing.”

“Mm-hmm!”

Su Qingyue’s voice was excited: “With Senior Brother’s talent, you will surely become the first being to attain the Immortal Emperor Dao since the Ancient Era.”

“Although we are unparalleled heavenly daughters of the ages, we cannot compare to even half of Senior Brother.”

She paused, then added: “Xiao Hongdou also cannot compare.”

“Oh, by the way, Senior Brother probably doesn’t know, but after Sister Chu abdicated, Xiao Hongdou became the Palace Master.”

“I really didn’t expect that. I thought Ru Yan or Luo Li would become the Palace Master,” Gu Qing said with a smile.

“I also thought it would be one of them, but who knew Xiao Hongdou would rise unexpectedly, with unparalleled combat power, and ascend to the Immortal Realm in just a hundred years.”

“Xiao Hongdou also helped me a lot, killing those who had ill intentions towards me.”

At this point, Su Qingyue’s beautiful eyes shifted, and she asked worriedly: “Xiao Hongdou hasn’t come to the Star Dao Sect yet. Did something unexpected happen during her ascension?”

Gu Qing shook his head: “I’m not sure either; I haven’t received any news from her.”

Chu Yao interjected: “Luo Li also hasn’t come to the Star Dao Sect. I wonder what happened to both of them.”

“Don’t worry, they are both individuals with great fortune; nothing will happen to them,” Gu Qing said.

Xiao Hongdou is a transmigrator with a system, capable of bending and stretching, able to achieve great things, and she also has a system.

Ordinary protagonists definitely wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

As for Luo Li, if she encounters a destined protagonist, she might be in a bit of danger.

Chu Yao rolled her eyes: “Who’s worried about Luo Li?”

She wasn’t familiar with Luo Li.

She even disliked her somewhat.

Because Luo Li was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, with a malicious heart. As the saying goes, those with different paths do not conspire together.

They had almost no common topics, and meeting was just like familiar strangers.

As for Xiao Hongdou... she could only say she was average.

Alright... Gu Qing changed the subject: “Speaking of which, were all of you brought to the sect by Sister Yu?”

Su Qingyue: “Yes, Su Ying Jie, and Ru Yan and Ru Yi too. They are currently cultivating in the Myriad Star Pool.”

After a pause, a mischievous look appeared in Su Qingyue’s beautiful eyes, and she hugged Gu Qing’s neck: “Senior Brother, do you perhaps like Ru Yan?”

Gu Qing was startled: “No, why do you ask?”

Su Qingyue: “Many people pursue Ru Yan, and one of them even chased her all the way to the Immortal Realm, ascending together. However, Ru Yan has clearly stated that she only favors you.”

Gu Qing was silent for a moment: “Is there a possibility that Ru Yan just admires me? Or perhaps, she wants to surpass me?”

Empress Ru Yan is indeed a scoundrel; her simps have even chased her to the Immortal Realm.

“Perhaps!”

Su Qingyue changed the subject, a faint blush appearing on her clear, exquisite face, her beautiful eyes looking at Chu Yao.

“What about Sister Chu then?”

“I saw you two holding hands when you came in.”

Chu Yao’s face turned red: “We are indeed together.”

Su Qingyue smiled brightly: “I knew it! Sister Chu had a crush on Senior Brother, and you two would definitely end up together. Back then, I told you to marry Senior Brother, but you were unwilling. Aren’t you together now?”

“You brat, are you making fun of me?”

Chu Yao angrily reached out to tickle her.

“Hehe, that tickles, Sister Chu, I know I was wrong...”

Looking at Su Qingyue struggling in his arms, and Chu Yao so close.

Gu Qing reached out and scooped them both up. Now, both sisters were with him.

He looked at the clear and ethereal Su Qingyue.

Then he looked at the charming and alluring Chu Yao.

Comparing them... Forget it, no comparison. Only children make choices; adults, of course, want both.

“Oh no!” Chu Yao thought it was bad and tried to escape, but it was too late... Divine Illusion Peak.

Bai Suying received Zhi Meng’s order and immediately sent a message, telling all disciples to gather.

After waiting for a long time, everyone gradually arrived, each with a playful smile, not taking Bai Suying on the high platform seriously at all.

Each of them acted as if they didn’t see her, chatting casually with their companions.

Bai Suying’s expression was not good.

She knew that she had just ascended, her strength was low, only at Heavenly God Realm First Layer.

Her immortal essence hadn’t even fully transformed, her combat power was weak, and she probably couldn’t even take one move from these people.

Although in the cultivation world, strength was respected.

But she was Zhi Meng’s disciple. These people had only joined Divine Illusion Peak and couldn’t even be considered Zhi Meng’s registered disciples; they were merely disciples of Zhi Meng’s lineage.

These people ignoring her clearly intended to intimidate her and undermine her authority.

If she didn’t show these people some color, then in the future, when she issued tasks, these people would likely feign compliance.

They would only take contribution points and not do the work.

“Indeed, compassion does not lead an army.” Bai Suying regretted it deeply at this moment, regretting that she shouldn’t have treated these people as her own.

Her good intentions had only made these people push their luck... “Senior Brother Zhong, are we really not going?”

The disciples who hadn’t gone gathered together, some asking worriedly.

Although Zhi Meng didn’t usually interfere, Bai Suying was ultimately Zhi Meng’s disciple. If they openly defied orders, once investigated, punishment would be inevitable.

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

The leading young man looked at him with disdain and scoffed: “If Senior Brother Gu gathered us, then of course we would go. But what is Bai Suying? A small ant who just ascended to the Immortal Realm, yet she presumes to order us around. It’s simply laughable.”

“Exactly. I joined Divine Illusion Peak to cultivate the Peak Master’s supreme Dao laws, not to be a servant to an ant.”

Thinking of the tasks Bai Suying had issued, everyone’s expressions turned ugly.

Divine Illusion Peak had rich immortal essence and clear heavenly laws, making it a treasure land for comprehending the Dao.

Previously, they were reluctant to even use immortal crystals for cultivation, but now, immortal essence was plentiful.

They wished they could cultivate in seclusion on Divine Illusion Peak every day. They didn’t even have enough time for cultivation, so how could they have time to go out and do tasks?

“But what if Senior Brother Gu also went?”

“Don’t worry, I sent people to watch Purple Lotus Peak. He hasn’t come out at all.”

Zhong Xuelong’s eyes flickered: “We are all heavenly talents, pursuing the supreme Dao. None of you want to remain mediocre servants forever, do you?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Although going out earned contribution points, those few points couldn’t exchange for much immortal essence.

Guarding a mineral vein for a hundred years would yield less immortal essence than they absorbed by cultivating in seclusion on Divine Illusion Peak for a single month.

“Very good. The only one in charge of Divine Illusion Peak is Bai Suying. If she handles things poorly, the Peak Master will definitely take in more direct disciples. At that time, we might have a chance to become the Peak Master’s disciples and cultivate the supreme lightning laws.”

“Becoming Senior Brother Gu’s junior brother, perhaps Senior Brother Gu will bestow divine artifacts.”

Zhong Xuelong’s voice was low, his eyes full of yearning.

They had heard that Bai Suying was merely Zhi Meng’s registered disciple, taken in only to handle miscellaneous matters.

In Zhi Meng’s eyes, Bai Suying was utterly insignificant.

Since Bai Suying arrived at the Star Dao Sect, Zhi Meng had only met her once, appointing her to manage Divine Illusion Peak.

Once Bai Suying proved incompetent in managing, Zhi Meng would surely abandon her, right?

At that time, he could seize the opportunity to rise.

After all, he was at the peak of the Heavenly God Realm, and among the disciples, he was outstanding in both combat power and ability.

“Senior Brother Zhong’s words are reasonable. At that time, we will use the excuse of being in seclusion.”

“Good, we will work together with one heart. As long as we let the Peak Master see her incompetence, we will all have a chance to soar.”

Zhong Xuelong’s eyes were cold as he looked outside the cave.

He absolutely had to become Zhi Meng’s disciple.

His childhood sweetheart betrayed him and married someone else, leading to the destruction of his family.

To seek revenge, he had ventured into countless perilous places, fought with demonic beasts, battled cultivators, and experienced near-death situations.

By a stroke of luck, he joined Divine Illusion Peak, and a great opportunity to soar was right before his eyes. He would absolutely not miss it.

As long as he became Zhi Meng’s disciple, gained a transcendent status, and cultivated the supreme lightning laws,

He would return home in glory, to show his childhood sweetheart how terribly wrong she was to abandon him and marry someone else.

He would snatch back his childhood sweetheart, kill her husband, and then rape and kill her, to vent the hatred in his heart.
